Agreed that the count is distracting. I even occasionally click it without thinking, open a SPAM email without realizing it, and was left believing the contents of the email for a second before catching myself. Which completely defeats the point of a SPAM filter. SPAM needs to be un-intrusive, not trying to catch my attention. Also, the OCD side of me means that must clear out the SPAM folder daily to get rid of that number!
